Lafayette Ron Hubbard

Lafayette Ron Hubbard was the discoverer and developer of the philosophy known as scientology. In the freezone it is known as the original working philosophy of Ron and includes the understanding of life, its component parts and potentialities. The application part of the philosophy includes activities which one can embark upon to improve one's life both in the spiritual sense as well as the physical.

The philosophy and the application of it is found in the many books he wrote and the many thousands of lectures he gave which are available on audio tapes and CDs available from Amazon Books, eBay and other outlets.

The application of the technology includes Auditors (practitioners) applying certain auditing techniques and procedures (exercises) with PreClears (Clients) to produce an exactly defined benefit for that client. Such benefits can include:

An increased spiritual awareness
An improvement in lifestyle
An acquired or improved ability of a clearly defined nature
Relief from a past activity that may be hindering a persons spiritual awareness ability or understanding.

One of the 'tools of the trade' of an Auditor (practitioner) is what is known as an e-meter. This device is quite harmless and enables the auditor to guide the attention of the PreClear to the area or activity being looked at as the PreClear is usually unaware of the source of the difficulty.

The original working philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard has been compared to a bridge from current existing conditions to more aware and better states for man. A road out of the travail and pain we are often surrounded by.

Here is what Mary Sue Hubbard, his wife, had to say about Ron:

"To me, the most important foundation upon which Dianetics and Scientology is built was stated in the First Book, that is, "Man is basically good." I know of no one who believes this as strongly as Ron does. It is my feeling that this alone in times of contemptuous press, financial difficulties, the betrayal of friends, times when it seemed that all he had built was crumbling to pieces, kept him going, kept him persisting to his goal of helping MAN.

In Phoenix after the fall of Wichita, a producer with whom Ron had worked in Hollywood came to see us at our small apartment. He was offering Ron what would seem to the ordinary man like ice cream and cake for eternity. After picturing this dream in the clouds, he said to Ron, "Now, really, do you think this Dianetics, this research of yours, is worth it?" Ron sat for a very long time, silent, his eyes closed. Finally after what had seemed like hours he opened his eyes, and said, "Yes! Yes I do." After his producer friend left, I asked him why he had taken so long to answer. He replied, "I was watching pass before me a parade of all the people I had helped, their expression one of hope and faith in the goodness of the future. Nothing can be worth more to me than that.

And that's the way he is. His belief in the innate goodness of Man, in being able to bring this and Man's abilities to the fore continues him in his research. It enables him to communicate to anyone despite their physical disability to do so, or any language barrier.

His preclears are all over the world. The time he has spent processing is too vast to enumerate. Even he does not know the hours; he works and there is no time to him. This used to be very disconcerting to me. I remember one time in Spain, I had spent the whole morning shopping in the market and the whole afternoon preparing dinner on one oil burner and a charcoal fire. This was a difficult process for one used to supermarkets and a gas range. Ron had gone to the park. Dinner time passed. The food got soupy from reheating and the charcoal supply got nil. My patience wilted and I went to the park. I found him sitting at a sidewalk cafe, a middle-aged Spaniard with him. He motioned me to sit down and be silent. He was processing. The fellow had been in the Russian army, had fought in the battle of Stalingrad and then had been forced into servitude in Siberia. His legs had been so badly frozen that they would not bend at the joints. This peg legged walk was to carry him through life and to deny him work because of his slowness. After Ron had finished, we invited him home to dinner. He walked naturally again. His realization of what had happened to him did not come until he walked to the door to leave. He suddenly stopped and began shouting, "I walk ... I walk. ."
